Innovative

greenspace

of a renovation scheme where a high level of attention has
been paid to recycling waste and stimulating the involvement
of the inhabitants in this, as part of the regeneration of
the greenspaces.

This housing area
consists of low rise, high density, 2 and 3 storey housing,
made out of red brick. It was built in the 1930s as public
housing and has been renovated more recently in full
consultation with the residents. Tenants tend to be older
people and younger people without children.

It is very popular with
residents.

All the usual waste
products (newspapers, bottles, cardboard, etc.) are sorted
on site into containers. There are also bays for sorting
other products at source, including metal, furniture and
electrical goods.

Small front gardens have
been added to the terraces which have improved their
appearance and made a more "private" entrance.

Car parking has been
dealt with in clusters and the land form has allowed an
interesting local landscape to develop. The caretakers look
after the site and call in help form the housing company
when needed.
